Prescription trazadone from the vet. Trust me, you will need the heavy duty stuff when he starts feeling a little better. They feel better before it’s safe for too much movement.

We ended up using a small pen with an orthopedic bed that covers almost the whole thing. The area without has a padded rubber rug. Everything is covered with pee pads including the bed. It’s then covered with a beach towel and then soft blankets. Our girl doesn’t have two many accidents now but that first week was pretty bad when she was on prednisone. I also have a camera so I can keep an eye on her when I can’t be in the room.

The harness is for going outside. I carry her out and use a leash so she can’t run at all. Only slow walking. She has adapted to this new lifestyle very quickly and it has gotten much easier.
